Nicely done with lots of info and photos that for a novice are a great big help. I would purchase from this vendor again!

Very informative with good illustrations. I would recommend this book to any person interested in making dolls. Thank you. Charlotte

Nice collection of history of cloth dolls through history. I wished for more on the early dolls though. Still in all a good book.

I am constructing a 19th century period correct doll. This book is full of illustrations of dolls from long ago to the 20th century.

my wife bought it. she is a doll collector. was impressed with how thoroughly it coved the topic.

I collect cloth dolls and Linda Edward is a Friend. I like her writing,

I found this book helpful in my research on cloth dolls. It is weighted towards American dolls but there are some of the UK-made ones too. Some of the information is a wee bit questionable, but it was written quite a long time ago so I guess that's forgiveable. It's most useful for the photographs, and there are lots of them.
